it's so scary cos that's how my mind thinks most of the time with thoughts just crazily running through my head with my fingers not keeping up with the typing which sometimes sucks cos i tend to keep forgetting what's my point but i still like thinking my countless random ultra unfocused thoughts this way cos it keeps me honest and real somehow and knowing that alone makes sense.

at least to me.




*takes in deep breaths*

Ah. I believe that's how we're meant to think. I like it that way, don't you? You should check out Automatism. Similar ideology. Very cool. :D
